Police in Manchester have been told not to arrest Muslims wanted on warrants at prayer times during the holy month of Ramadan.
An internal email listing prayer times was sent to officers in the metropolitan division asking them not to make planned arrests during those periods for reasons of religious sensitivity, Greater Manchester Police confirmed.
Some officers are said to have been angered by the instruction.
But a police spokesman said confusion arose because the original memo was unclear, and a second email has clarified that there is no blanket ban on arrests, simply a request for sensitivity.
The latter email also stressed the order did not apply to on-the-spot arrests, only the execution of arrest warrants.
Greater Manchester Police describe their metropolitan division as covering "one of the most diverse in the UK with a wide range of ethnic groups". It serves the communities of Moss Side, Hulme, Whalley Range, Rusholme, Fallowfield, Ardwick, Longsight, Gorton and Levenshulme.
Ramadan is due to end next week, with Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations marking the end of the fasting period.
A Greater Manchester Police statement said: "The primary objective of Greater Manchester Police is to fight crime and protect people.
"The month of Ramadan is an important time of the year for members of the Muslim community throughout the world

PC = suicide pact for western civilization.
So I murder someone on during Lent, a warrant is put out for my arrest and they don't arrest me.
Absolutely appalling.
Of course, this sensitivity also applies to christian criminals during lent and the upcoming twelve-days-of-Christmas holiday season.

Chickens on RAMADAMADINGDONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many French moving to the U.K. I suppose.
We need to ask these questions...or start rioting during Christmas...
I wonder if the English still remember their gift to the world, RULE OF LAW AND ORDER. No exceptions.
Phone in an anonymous tip that there is an Irish Catholic hiding in the mosque....
Maybe they could stop doing CRIMES for reasons of religious sensibilities, too.
And then we Christians are free from arrest during Christmas. I mean, WE are sensitive too.
Like as if laws should be made and enforced based on SENSITIVITIES???
The citizens of Manchester need to be made aware of this memo, and of its author. Then they can assemble and express their opinion of the contents and the philosophy that spawned them.
If the public feels it is truly being served by this accommodationist claptrap, then they can show their appreciation for the "sensitivity" and "awareness" of the author. However, if they feel -- as I suspect most do -- that this tactic simply accords filth a respected position, then they can express their outrage and demand the resignation of this laughable quisling of a "public servant."
Oh, thank you!! If I murdered someone and the police knew they could find me during Communion, I think I'd get stuck under the jail!! This is so appalling, it borders on WHAT!! There just aren't any words!! How many free passes do these murdering terrorists get?!?! Apparently a lot! This is abhorrently disgusting.
Paralyzing fear.
Fear of Islamofascist violence, and fear of being seen as "racist" or bigoted. The only way for them to overcome their fear is to get sufficiently angry. .....and God only knows what that's going to take.
Can they arrest Christians on Sunday mornings, or Jews during Shabbat?
Muslims should all be warned to not commit crimes or face arrest at whatever time the non-muslim majority of citizenry requires.
